Fish otolith biomineralization process: first investigations about organic matrix and growth of Triglidae (Scorpaeniformes) otoliths
Otolith formation involves rhythmic variations in the deposition and size of organic matrix framework and carbonate crystals, resulting in the formation of macroscopic translucent and opaque rings and microscopic zonations (growth increments) (Morales Nin, 2000). As in most biominerals, the otolith...
